Gohmert: Gov't Is Too Busy Watching Americans to Watch ISIS

29 Aug 2014

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) slammed officials in the Obama administration for failing to anticipate the threat of ISIS while guest-hosting “The Sean Hannity Show” on Friday. He declared “we have politicians that are simply clueless.”

Gohmert directed particularly pointed criticism at CIA Director John Brennan, stating, “The man has no clue about the threat that is facing us.” And “I guess between the NSA and CIA, they’re spending so much time listening to and reading about what American citizens are saying. They’re so worried about veterans and people that are clinging to their God and their gun … [that] they hadn’t come to grips with the fact that there really are people who want to have a caliphate.”
